The Laurie Jervis Cup - The News Footballer of the Year

[MagareyLegend]

Can anyone tell me more about this award. I know that Darel Hart from North won it at least once but what was it for, when did it start and finish and who won it?

SANFL player of the year.

Votes awarded by News journos.

IIRC, it started about '79 and went through until '91?

Greg Anderson won it in '86 along with just about every other award that year except Port's B&F.

Reakon Craig Bradley might've pipped John Platten in '84.

Pretty sure Peter Carey, Michael Aish, Peter Motley, Andrew Jarman and Chris McDermott were among the winners...

And were you a Lawrie Jervis Cup legend as well as a MagareyLegend?

Without giving too many clues to your identity did you poll any votes for North vs Glenelg at Prospect in August, 1979? If you didn't, you should have.
